How it works
1. Listen
A natural French voice reads a sentence aloud, at a pace you control. Replay it as often as you need.
2. Write
You type the full sentence yourself. Writing — not multiple choice — is what trains real spelling and grammar.
3. Understand
You get an instant correction showing each mistake, the right form and the rule behind it — in clear language.
Learning French as a foreign language is an exciting challenge, but French spelling remains one of the most feared obstacles for learners around the world. Between accents, silent letters, double consonants and countless exceptions, the French spelling system is famous for its complexity. Yet dictation is the single most effective exercise for making progress: it draws on listening, comprehension, grammar and writing all at once. DictéePro offers French dictations tailored to every level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), from complete beginner (A1) to autonomous C1.
Whether you are preparing for an official exam such as the DELF, the DALF or the TCF, or you simply want to improve your written French for professional or personal reasons, regular dictation practice will help you progress quickly. Our exercises target the most common mistakes made by learners of French: confusion between similar sounds (é/è/ê, ou/u, on/an), forgetting agreements in gender and number, misuse of accents, and difficulties with grammatical homophones (a/à, et/est, son/sont). Every dictation comes with a detailed correction that explains the rule behind each mistake.
Our platform adapts to your native language and your level. An English speaker does not make the same mistakes as a Spanish or Arabic speaker. By identifying your specific weak points, DictéePro builds a personalized learning path for you. You can practice a few minutes a day, at your own pace, and see measurable progress within a few weeks. French spelling is not an innate talent: it is a skill you acquire through practice, and dictation is the best tool to master it.
